Syncing music to ipad 2?

Has anyone had a problem with album art not matching up when synced to an iPad 2?
Thanks

UPDATE: It turns out, well for me at least, that if you sync your music again after the first sync the computer and the iPad will assume that the music is downloaded correctly however instead there is no music AT ALL.
RECOMMEDATATION: after the first music sync DO NOT resync or you will lose all your music and have to resync from scratch.

HT1386 can't sync music to ipad

when syncing, the music isn't being transferred to the ipad. in the ipad, the music appears with a gray wheel, and isn't really there. i already tried restoring to factory setting, but it didn't help. i also tried manually transferring the music, but that didn't work either.

Sync music (purchased from iTune Store) to iPad. Select device on the left and Music on the top.

Syncing music on iPad to iPod.

Hello. I want to sync music on my iPad to my iPod. Can I do this? Do I need another computer to bridge the two devices?

About the closest you can come is you can sync some material using iCloud. For example, if botht the iPad and iPod use iCloud Mail, Contacts, Calendars, that data would sync. Simlilarly, Photo Stream could sync. If you subscribe to iTunes Match, you could get your music to sync also.

HT1535 Can't sync music to ipad 2

Ok so I have an iPad 2. I am having trouble syncing content, especially music, to it. Sometimes when I connect my iPad to my pc, it tries to sync my entire iTunes library of about 1000 songs to my iPad, which is troublesome because then I have to go and delete all of those songs. Basically all I want to do is transfer a few albums from my iTunes library to my iPad, but it's not letting me. When I try to drag and drop the albums to my iPad on the left column of iTunes, nothing happens. It doesn't say syncing (insert album name) to my iPad. I tried unchecking all the songs in my library so that they wouldnt all auto sync, ad instead only checking off the songs that I wanted to sync to my iPad, same result. Music won't coy to my iPad. I'm currently running iOS 5.1. I recently updated my dads iPod touch (4th gen) to iOS 5.1 and also was able to transfer this music to his iPod using the EXACT SAME PC, but for some reason it won't work for my iPad. Don't know if it matters or not, but might be worth noting that these devices are NOT jailbroken nor have ever been, or are running any third party operating systems. Like I said, just iOS 5.1. Does anyone know why this is happenning? I would really appreciate a solution to this. Thanks!

Open itunes - connect device by usb, when device summary page opens (clicking device icon at left to do this)
In <options> at bottom of page tick box - Manually manage music and videos
A tick in the box to limit higher bit rate songs to 128kbps does not do any harm either and will save you some space.
192 and 256 kbps are true high fidelity sampling rates and you would want real high quality speakers to appreciate the kind of detail these high rates can handle.
Open the device Music tab at top of page, tick the Sync Music box and select Selected playlists,artists,albums and genres. not the Entire music library option.
To avoid duplication when restoring from different backup sources only select one format in the lower pane list views. I prefer to use the Albums list, though creating your own playlists is probably better for tailoring large libraries with hundreds or perhaps thousands of songs.
Note that the Library Music tab from list at left displays all music currently synced to your iPad, NOT what is available in your library or Media Folder. Use the iPad icon (highlight by clicking) then in the main page use the Music tab (between Apps and Films) to select what to sync.
If you have music in more than one type of list and you have the option to keep your media folder organised - Edit\Preferences\Advanced tab - Keep media folder organised; it can lead to duplication across different list. I prefer to keep this bos unticked when manually managing files.

Can't sync music on iPad?

So I realised today that I couldn't add new songs or play some of my already existing songs on my iPad (using iTunes) so I tried to remove the entire music library, and sync it again. But when I removed it, I couldn't sync it back?!
The weird thing is, it actually shows (on iTunes) the songs that I had before I removed them on my iPad, but I can't play it. It shows, I can click on them, but it just doesn't play. I don't know why it still shows when I actually have like 9GB free because I removed my music from my iPad, and it actually says so on settings, but I just can't resync my songs.
I also tried to add music manually, and this pops up:
iTunes cannot add any songs to the iPad because no songs in your iTunes library can be copied to this iPad.
I have no idea what's wrong and I'm really confused. Please help!
Extra info:
My iPad isn't really new, it's half a year old already.
I don't think it's a problem with iTunes because it syncs with my iPod just fine. Or am I missing something?
Other apps sync without problems with my iPad.

Also I have tried switching my iPad on and off multiple times, but the problem still persists.

Cannot sync music on iPad 2

Since iOS 7 and Maverick I cannot sync the music that I buy on iTune to my iPad2

I was running into the same problem. If I looked in iTunes under My iPad->TV Shows, it shows were listed, but on the iPad itself it would not show up. What fixed it for me was to use Get Info (⌘I) on all the episodes and set Info:Album and Video:Show to match (my Info:Album field was previously blank.)
I hope that helps.

Cannot sync music to iPad or transfer bought films from iPad.

Hello,
I am having trouble with my iPad 2. I am trying to go through all the options but I cannot get anywhere with it.
I cannot sync any music from my iTunes to the iPad, and I have films purchased on the iPad (Purchased, not rented) that I cannot transfer to iTunes.
On the iPad "about" shows no songs, 1 film. When i go to the iPad tab in iTunes there is the music I want synced (in grey) and no films.
Whenever I go through a sync process it says completing steps 1 through 7, but after step 7 "cancelling sync".
I would restore the iPad but I don't want to lose the film I bought and I'd prefer to transfer it to the Laptop (MacBook) before I Restore the iPad.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm having the same issue, already for about a month or so, (a bit after the release of iOS 7) on my iPhone 4S.
Always stuck on Waiting for Changes to be Applied.
I already tried:
- built a completely new iTunes Library (my previous one was completely manually managed, this one is automatic, a change I had planned to do since a while, but now thought would be good to implement because it may fix my issue... no it didn't).
- Removed all voice memos from my iPhone.
- Restored from a iCloud backup. Then syncing again.
- Updated to Mavericks with iTunes 11.1.2 and iOS 7.0.3.
- Changed the name of the MediaLibrary.sqlitedb file on the iPhone (trough Phoneview) to have iTunes make a new Library. Still it's stuck on the bigger playlists.
The only thing I didn't do yet, was setting it up as a completely new phone. I am not gonna loose 4 years of text messages because of a bug in the software.
It syncs some playlists, but most of my larger ones it doesn't. I paid 850 euros to have an 64GB iPhone 4S, and now I have to leave it with 3/4 empty space because of Apple. Very frustrating.

TS4062 unable to sync music to ipad

after doing a back up & restore due to sound problems on ipad sound has returned but i cannot restore my music! when trying to sync from itunes library tracks appear in a greyed out form but will not sync. strangely despite the restore checked tracks only being selected the UNchecked tracks have restored!

WiFi sync requires that the computer and iOS device be on the same wireless network. Your computer can't be connected to ethernet with WiFi turned off and have your iOS device sync with it over WiFi.

Sync music to ipad

Music will not sync to iPad. Contacts, calendar, etc. all synced, but not music??

Did you look in the iPod app (on your iPad) to see that music is not there?
When syncing with iTunes, what settings did you use in the music tab?

How do I sync music on iPad *back* to an iTunes library on a Mac?

Dear folks,
My iPad has an assortment of (legal!) music on it from a variety of sources, manually transferred in. I'd like to port that back to a single library in iTunes on my desktop Mac so that I have a backup of my music library as it exists on the iPad in case of loss (heaven forbid) or having to reset the iPad (which has already happened once!)
Is there a way to do this, either with the normal iTunes tools or via an app from the App Store?
thanks!

i was just pointing you in the right direction
thanks for the star and ... happy computing !

IPhone not syncing to iTunes music, But iPad OK... Restore?

I updated to IOS7 on both my iPhone 4s and iPad 2. But when I go to sync music on my desktop through iTunes I get stuck in the final step of transferring for my iPhone but not the iPad. Is there anyway to go about fixing this without restoring my phone? I realize this is probably an issue with the software (bug) because of the update but was wondering if there is anyway to go around fixing this without wiping my phone clean.
Thanks!

Hi,
Are you working with iTunes for Windows or Mac?
One thing to try is to change your iTunes setting to manually sync.
Then remove the music (if any) from the device and choose just what you want to put back on the iPhone.
If that doesn't work, you may need to restore from the backup you hopefully did before updating.

Syncing Music from Folder to Ipad!

Hey not sure if any had this problem or maybe can help me.
My problem is that im having trouble dragging on song from my music folder on my PC driectly into my music folder in ipad, but i had to go from the Library import music then drag it into my ipad..
Can anyone tell me how to turn or fix it so that i can just drag and drop from my folder to ipad and skip the other step.
Thank You

You can only sync music (automatically or manually) from within iTunes. You can't skip the import step.

How do i find which Apple ID is associated with music in my iTunes? When I sync with my iPad and iPhone it tells me I have music, apps etc from more than five IDs. I am asked for PW for a number of now extinct accounts.

Go to Settings/icloud. The Apple ID at the top of the screen is the only one you need to be concerned about. That one MUST be a working ID, and you must know the password for it, or you will be unable to use the phone if it ever crashes, you want to update it, or you want to sell it.
